FAMILY FUTURES MISSION
*Every Rappahannock County student will graduate with a plan for the future, financial capability and resources, and academic and personal skills to pursue that plan confidently and successfully.
*Parents, caregivers, and other adults will have access to information and tools to develop their own financial skills. STRATEGIES
FamilyFutures graduates are financially capable an

d personally responsible. We achieve this goal by:
• establishing age-appropriate financial education targets for all public school students;
• engaging the students in financial education using MyFuture savings accounts for each student, that are seeded in kindergarten and grow as the student achieves benchmarks in financial learning;
• encouraging families to role model for their children, and achieve their own financial success, by providing information sessions, tools, and
• counseling on financial issues, as requested, for parents and other adults. GOALS
• Every Rappahannock public school student has a personal savings account.
• All students complete annual tasks to earn the maximum additional deposits.
• Financial and personal skill building activities are integrated into the school curriculum to support state mandates for college and career exploration.
• Students learn and demonstrate the value of setting goals and weighing choices that lead to lifelong success.
• Parents and other adults build their own financial and personal skills through home activities with their children and through workshops and individual coaching. HOW WE ACHIEVE THIS:
FamilyFutures uses private funds to seed accounts for public school kindergartners with $100 and then deposits up to $100 annually through graduation as students complete age-appropirate tasks that increase their financial knowledge and personal skills. We provide financial education for adults in workshops and in one-on-one coaching.

Such an important real-world lesson for students! Learning about compound interest now can help set them up for smart financial choices in the future. 💰📚

6th grade students recently learned how compound interest can be an incredible tool when saving money 💰📈 — but also a very risky one when borrowing money 💳⚠️

In March, students explored the differences between no interest, simple interest, and compound interest while reviewing charts that showed how money grows over time. One of the biggest takeaways? Starting to save early can make a HUGE difference for your future self! 🌟

Of course, saving isn’t always easy. It can be tempting to grab that Starbucks ☕, Chick-fil-A 🍟, or the newest squishy everyone is talking about 🛍️ — but students discussed how even small amounts saved consistently in an account earning compound interest can really add up over time.

They also examined the downside of compound interest by looking at credit card debt. That part of the lesson was definitely eye-opening 😬 as students saw how quickly debt can snowball into a financial avalanche. While a little shocking, it was an important lesson in making smart money choices and understanding how financial decisions today can impact the future. 💡💵
